ARRESTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RESOLUTION

Taking into consideration the recent arrests of Armenian citizens in
Turkey, can the pressure on Armenians become massive?

In response to the question of the correspondent of "Hayots Ashkharh"
daily, Kiro Manoyan said," The arrests of Armenian citizens have
nothing to do with the Resolution, firstly because these arrests
have started long before the adoption of the resolution. Secondly,
because Armenian citizens have been arrested because their visas have
expired. As we know not only Armenian citizens have been arrested
for the same reason, in Turkey. This means Turkey has intended to be
stricter in this issue. The problem is more complicated in our case
because Armenia doesn’t have a diplomatic representation in Turkey
that could have settled this issue.
